Academic

Course recommendations

If you come to Thammasat, come because you want to travel in Asia. Class quality is rather poor, and the length is too long (3 hours per class, 15 minute breaks). BMIR (International Relations department at Tha Prachan) takes itself too seriously. If you take "serious" classes you are likely to be graded harshly and the classes' quality will NOT match whatever knowledge you will get.

My academic experiences

Quality of courses

Variety of courses

Access to resources

Interaction with teachers

Interaction with international students

Interaction with local students

Personal comments

If you come to Thammasat, make sure that the courses you pick are "light" so you get some time to travel and enjoy your exchange experience. "Advanced" classes (IR, in my case) were extremely unprofessionally conducted, time-consuming, and grade you get at the end assumes that you have had good teachers.

My opinion of the university assessment

Exams at end of course

Exams throughout the course

Essays and/or projects at the end of course
